Windmills: You will notice right away that Bodrum is also famous for its peculiar white windmills. They are made with stone and lined with wood and were in use as fas back as the 18th century to grind flour and other grains.
Beaches: The city beach stretches all the way from the castle Halikarnas; it's great for swimming. Lounge out on one of the free sunbeds or right on the small pebble beach.
